Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Fingers not knowing whether I planned to type 'cucumbers' or 'cubicles' so covering all angles *rolls eyes at self*

Talking to people in toilet cubicles is just weird.

Apart from the ground floor, my office has gents and ladies loos on floors 1-14. For some reason, all the gents cubicles were occupied for well over half-an-hour this afternoon. I went to numerous floors - all engaged! Maybe I was unlucky with the timing. I'm glad I didn't have that great an urge and could hold on.

At least us runners are used to holding on for that long before and during mass participation events!

"Regular Americano with milk, please."

"Skimmed or semi-skimmed?"

"Semi-skimmed."

"Do you want milk? Oops, I've already answered my own question. Can I take a name Please?"

"Archibald."*

Walk the half a mile back to where I sit, take lid off coffee which seems too hot to drink. It's black.

*Not my real name

The fact that CHiltern Railways see fit to remind us EVERY TEN MINS that bicycles "with the exception of fully-folded folding bicycles" are not allowed on trains arriving blah blah blah, like announcing it ever stopped anyone. AAAARGH!

Archibald 😆

We should start an 'Archibald' campaign anyone who asks your name at a coffee outlet say Archibald.

I checked the female version of Archibald it is Archina which is German...that will not work so well.

Last time I was Jeff, but I thought I'd give them more of a challenge this time.
